Additional Comments: According to TV Guide, Jagger's son is going to be autistic when he returns to PC. It is interesting that they have this storyline in the works and the recent speculation that Spinnelli might have Aspergers.
In the past GH has done its best storylines with the medical stuff: Monica's breast cancer, Stone's AIDS, BJs heart, Tony's mental breakdown, Alan's drug addiction...hopefully this will happen again.

Message: If Spinelli does have Aspergers, there is nothing GH can do to redeem Sonny after he called Spinelli a "freak boy."

Message: None of the stories you mention were written by current head writer, Guza. Not that I can remember, anyway.
And THAT makes a big difference. Guza isn't really interested in hospital stories and it shows. He likes to write violence, shootouts, underworld crap and the hospital comes in when someone is wounded or expires. So it has been for the past five years or more. They do show the hospital for a few characters, but do any of those characters have a full blown story? All Patrick and Robin do basically is sit on a couch and bicker. Not a story. Guza doesn't write stories with heart or much depth, for that matter.
Being that this is on Niteshift, and they hired a new writer for that, it could make some difference, but I suspect the new writer and producer will be very much under the thumb of Guza and Phelps.

Message: This storyline is will only be seen on Soapnet's "Night Shift" since that's the show ASJ has signed on to appear. I'm hoping, though, that he'll cross over to GH when NS wraps up its second season in the fall.
